Exhaust BGM PRO Big Box Touring – “BBT V2”

, ,

The BBT V2 is a further development of the well-known Big Box Touring exhaust system. During the revision, we attached great importance to depicting the widest possible spectrum of usable engine concepts.

Our prototype was driven more than 3000km to ensure that the final product delivers what it promises.

It was driven on an original (unprocessed) Rally200 Femsatronic block with standard shaft and Malossi 210 Sport as it comes out of the box.

In our tests, the engine developed just over 17 hp. Due to the higher performance and the higher torque, a straight-toothed 23/63 BGM primary is installed (3% longer than standard). The base plate of the Femsatronic was reworked to a long hole in order to be able to adjust the pre-ignition from a fixed 24° before TDC to 18° before TDC. The squish edge as specified by Malossi with 0.9mm and the air filter without drilling / processing.

Sitting upright on the Autobahn, the scooter runs at a reproducible speed of 120 km/h (according to GPS), corresponding to 7000 rpm with an additional 16 hp on the wheel.

In this graph we show the BBT2 (blue) compared to a Polini Box (red), measured in third gear:


The manifold, the contour of the exhaust shells, the damper chamber and the selectable diameter of the tailpipe are the changes made in detail.

The manifold itself has been modified in the course and to increase performance and the new exhaust shells have been optimized for more ground clearance.

In the damper chamber we have added components to achieve further turning and an increase in torque. The tailpipe can be adapted to the displacement and the speed of the respective engine by removing a plug-in part.

The tailpipe with plug-in part (d=18mm) is suitable for touring-oriented engines such as e.g Malossi Sports, Polini 210/211 and Quattrini 232

After removing the plug-in part, the new BBT has a tailpipe diameter of 20mm Quattrini 244-252 and Malossi MHR very good and also offers significantly more power and speed without thermally influencing the engines too much.

In summary, the BBT V2 achieves more across the entire speed range than the previous version on current engine concepts.

In addition to my everyday driving device, Maryzabel's Platonika also had to be used for experiments.

You can read about the exact equipment of the Platonika with our bgm177 cylinder here in the blog link to blog: 

Here is the comparison on the engine of the Platonika:

My daily ride, equipped with a Malossi Sport 210, Set primary incl. clutch, Clutch pinion
+ primary + repkit and via a membrane with a YSN30 carburettor link to blog: carburetor YSN30 https://blog.scooter-center.com/fast-30-mm/   )
ventilated, this engine represents a drive machine of the current generation.

Changed course - the manifold runs closer to the exhaust body and is additionally supported with a strut

Depending on the engine concept, the plug-in part can be pulled out

The BBTV2 is available now for the PX80, PX125, PX150 and the like, as well as the PX200 and Rally200: https://www.scooter-center.com/de/search?sSearch=bbt2

Polini Original Banana 2022

, , , , , ,

Polini has redeveloped the proven Polini banana and given it a new look. What the new banana or, according to the new Polini nomenclature, the "original" exhaust can do; I took a look for you.

From a purely visual point of view, the new original banana differs significantly from the design of the older vintages. The body has become thicker in terms of material and shaped differently. The plug connection on the manifold looks much more binding and the position for hanging the exhaust spring moves to a more accessible area.

Polini offers the exhaust systems for the PK and V50/PV engine cases. So far, the bananas for the PK models have always been provided with a clear flattening in the area of ​​the manifold. The new original from Polini only shows a different course of the manifold, without flattening.

Another significant improvement is the bracket that connects the muffler and engine case. Once the base plate of the bracket is mounted on the engine housing, the muffler can be easily mounted and dismounted using two M8 screws.

In the previous model of the banana, this principle was already used in racing, for example in class 5 of the ESC, to enable faster tire changes, but individual initiative was required when creating the bracket.

In general, Polini seems to have taken some experience from the racing circuit with him on the new banana. The new Polini banana is also directly suitable for the tire dimension 3.50-10, which is used almost exclusively in the racing series. The usual tires of the Smallframes with 3.00-10 therefore of course still fits.

I put the new original banana on my K5 for you and did a few tests.

The assembly went well. No bending, pressing or worse interventions are necessary to position the exhaust properly on the scooter.

The slotted holes in the bracket provide significant leeway for adjusting the system to prevent contact with the tire and brake drum.

Polini oddly states that the length of the shock absorber should be determined before installing the exhaust system. 

The tested minimum size of the shock absorbers, i.e. when the shock absorber is compressed to the stop, should prevent the exhaust system from coming into contact with the frame.

Owners of the bgm Pro rear shock absorbers can feel safe here. The dampers have the required minimum size and in the case of the Sport series, the height of the damper can even be adjusted further.

But now to the result on the test bench.

I would like to say in advance that every engine behaves differently and the differences can be more or less noticeable depending on the processing. It has been shown that the difference is clearer with less powerful or unprocessed engines than with concepts that are a little more sophisticated.
Here the new Polini Banana takes place on a motor that
Class 5 ESC rules.

The carburetor in this case is a PHBL 24, intake manifold Polini membrane, cylinder Polini 133 Racing cast iron. Crankshaft Mazzucchelli Racing.
The motor housing is machined for the diaphragm inlet and the transfer channels in the motor housing are adapted to the cylinder. The cylinder and the intake manifold remain unmachined.

In racing trim, my 508 tends to be in the 15hp range, depending on how I feel on the day. Therefore, the first run is first of all to see whether the engine is still in the best of health.

As expected, the 508 delivers 14.9 hp at 7300 rpm after warming up.

So everything is healthy and the new Polini original exhaust is fitted for comparison.

Even on the test bench, the significantly higher starting torque is noticeable when warming up. Polini did a good job here. What feels different on the dyno is also reflected in the graph.

At a slightly lower speed of 6660 rpm, the new 2022 banana with 15.5 hp increases by 0.6 hp compared to the older design. The maximum torque, increased by 0.9Nm, is already at 5200rpm.

In a direct comparison of the two curves, the character of the new 22 banana can be seen. Earlier - more.

Up to approx. 7200 rpm, the 22 banana has the edge in comparison. Exactly the area in which an engine with this power is most often moved on the road. From about 7300 rpm the older banana looks a little better and shows a little more desire for higher speeds.

The configuration of the carburetor was not changed between the two runs. My assumption here would be that with a subtly smaller main jet and needle/mixing tube combination, the 22 banana can still gain a bit in the higher rpm range.

But I'll leave that to your play instinct to find out.

My personal opinion:

Polini has done a good job developing a very nice everyday rideable exhaust with some good improvements. The easier to reach position of the spring, the more solid plug connection and the easily adjustable bracket are positive. I see the usability on larger tires as a further plus. In terms of noise, the new banana is a bit duller than the previous model.

Alex builds a Quattrini 252cc Vespa engine 5

Part 5 for stage 4

Fortunately, as with so many things in life, everyone has their preferences...
More RPM and more peak power or more torque at low RPM.

That's why in today's part I'm looking for more... But not top performance, but for speed range and torque. The "tractor engine" is sought.

In part 4 with stage 3, I looked in the direction of the higher control angle by raising the cylinder and making a small adjustment to the exhaust. If I were now to increase the exhaust further in order to perhaps achieve higher peak performance and speed, the way would be backwards; to try the cylinder with more blowdown at lower control angles installed.

So today I lower the cylinder. Overall, this results in lower control angles, but the pre-release increases slightly. The smaller transfer angle should allow the cylinder to produce a little more torque at low rpm.

The spacer on the cylinder head was changed from 1mm to 3mm compared to the third construction stage. At the cylinder base, the 2mm spacer leaves the field and the cylinder is only supported by a normal 0.3mm thick gasket. The squeezing edge remains at 1.3mm, as with the other construction stages.

In the following graphs are the current curves of construction stage 4 RED to see. The curves from the previous stage three appear in BLUE.

Elron is the first to show what he thinks of the change.

As can be expected, the absolute top performance drops slightly, but the maximum performance and torque shift in the direction of lower speeds. The torque increases slightly and feeds the range between 5100 and 7000 rpm.

The Polini box, which is more intended for engines with less transfer time, is placed next on the exhaust port.

At first glance, the curves may seem sobering. On closer inspection, the Polini Box turns out to be a real torque animal. At the end of this series of tests, it will rank second in terms of torque with 37.4Nm. The graph already passes the 4700 hp mark at 20 rpm. The maximum power shifts by an impressive 1000 rpm in the direction of a lower speed, culminating at 6400 rpm. The maximum torque pulls at the rear wheel at 6000 rpm. An engine constructed in this way is just begging for a long gearbox.

This allows the M244 to move over the asphalt with extreme shift laziness. Jack off the stand, shift into gear 4 and just pull the cable. Don't worry, it will be quick...

 

The aged all-rounder in the field.

The JL left arm puts its torque in the range between 5000 and 7000 rpm and thus offers more drivability. Although the peak power falls by one hp, the JL can still offer very good drivability in the field of resonance exhaust systems.

New Line

The handwork from the north is also responding to the adjustments as expected. Already at 5000rpm, 20 horses are ready to move significantly. Full torque is available at 6100 rpm. Although it pushes the absolute top performance down a bit and the Newline gives up 2 horses in favor of the early torque, it is happy to take the larger pre-release in order to go over 10.000 rpm and maintain it there with over 20 hp.
The Newline behaves here almost like a box exhaust system, seasoned with a significant torque kick.

Posch Nessi

The sea monster ducks its head slightly due to the reduced steering angles. But that's not bad at all. As with the Newline, the rev range shifts slightly towards early revs and develops more torque in the process. At 5200 rpm the curve already exceeds the 20 hp mark. The slightly increased pre-let helps the Nessi to a wider speed range.

Posch Racing Resi

The lush Resi handles the steering angle that is unsuitable for you amazingly well. Although it also loses peak performance, it gives an idea of ​​the bandwidth that can be possible with the appropriate control angles and more forward airflow. With a speed range of almost 4100 rpm, it is in the top league here.

Lakers

The Lakers, made for a lot more alert, don't like the slack head angles that much. The exhaust craves for larger time cross sections. The speed range shifts to lower speeds as expected, but the low time cross sections are not the right playing field for the Lakers. But his chance will come with the following expansion stages...

 

Here again all maximum values ​​in the overview

/from

Alex builds a Quattrini 252ccm Vespa engine 4 - stage 2 with exhaust test

, , , , ,

In the fourth part of our little blog series we make the following changes to our test engine:

The cylinder is attached at the foot with two 1mm Spacers increased by a further 2mm compared to level 0.5. This changes the steering angle of the transfer channels from 124° to 126°. The outlet is adjusted to a control angle of 190° by milling. To do this, the outlet in the cylinder was raised by 1.8mm. The outlet width remains unchanged at 57%.

 

The first attempts are made with the Elron

 

A little more nervous exhaust systems would show a clear shift in the direction of performance with the changes made, but the Elron is almost unimpressed by the specifications of the cylinder and retains control over the characteristics of the engine. A slight increase in the maximum values ​​after the decimal point only indicates that the Elron has noticed that the cylinder is sending a clearer signal through the exhaust. However, the maximum torque remains at the same level as in the first construction stage.
The available speed range is reduced by 500 rpm to 3540 rpm.

 

Polini box

 

As a box exhaust, the Polini exhaust system reacts more as expected. Similar to the Elron, the can from Italy only shows small reactions. The lower effective compression makes the curve dip a bit in the rise between 4000 rpm and 6200 rpm. The system converts the slightly increased time cross-section at the outlet window with a gain of just over one horsepower at peak.
The maximum torque remains the same at 35.2Nm and is only shifted by a few hundred revolutions in the direction of higher speeds.
With a bandwidth of 3800 revolutions, the Polini system is slightly behind stage 2, but this test shows that the box does not necessarily prefer the very small steering angle. In a direct comparison to stage 1, the bandwidth and maximum values ​​have increased significantly.

 

 

 

JL left hand / JL performance

 

Our test subject had a short break in the previous construction stage due to appointments away from home; but now plays again in the third construction stage. So here is the comparison between levels 1 and 2.
This also shows how clearly an exhaust can behave when it is operated from other steering angles. The JL, which is considered good-natured, turns out to be a very approachable partner in the search for performance.
At the top, the JL provides almost five and a half more horses and climbs over the 36PS line in the graph. The torque remains at 32.6Nm at the same level as in the first attempt. However, the torque extends over a much wider range - beyond 7000rpm. The performance peak is reached with 36.4PS at 8400rpm. The JL falls below the 25 HP line considered in the bandwidth only beyond 9600 rpm and can therefore not be described as a lazy speed. In general, the graph shifts significantly in the direction of higher speeds. With a bandwidth of only 3400 revolutions, the JL even lags behind the Elron and brings up the rear in terms of bandwidth in this construction stage.

 

Scooter and Service Newline

 

The edgy powerhouse from the north feels really comfortable in this expansion stage and takes two best values ​​with it.
There are no notable changes in the rise in the newline, but it does quite a bit due to the larger advance angle in the engine speed range. With 37.3Nm, it takes the top position in terms of torque in the third construction stage. The available speed range is narrower compared to the previous tests, but here too the Newline achieves a range of 4000 revolutions. With these values, considerations germinate after a longer primary with 24-60 ...

 

Nessie

 

Like the Elron, the sea monster from Posch Performance is not quite sure what to do with the changed control angles. Maximum torque remains the same and peak power increases by one horsepower. While the Nessie was still way ahead in level 1 with 4300 rpm in terms of bandwidth, the available speed range in level three is a bit on the dip station and is in the upper midfield with 3700 rpm.

 

 

 

Racing Resi

 

The Racing Resi taste the changes better. Rather devoted to the higher control angles, the Resi develops one more horsepower at the top and adds torque, which hardly affects the bandwidth on the 25hp line. In absolute terms, the Resi holds the position of the highest peak power with 38.9 hp in this level. We are slowly approaching the 40hp mark with the expansion stages.

 

 

Lakers

 

 

With 126° to 190°, the Lakers are not yet playing in their comfort zone. Although it also clearly converts the changed control angles into performance. With 38.4 hp at the top, it is only just behind the Resi. With a speed range of 3700 rpm, which already extends to 10.100 rpm, the Lakers shows where the journey can go with suitable peripherals.

Here is an overview of the results. Best values ​​are highlighted in green.

Lambretta resonance exhaust and Big Box prototype test

A Lambretta exhaust test: the new and upcoming Lambretta Big Box is currently in production. A delivery date is unfortunately still unknown.

Exhaust test on the Scooter Center Performance test bench

 

The Lambretta exhaust systems in the test

Before we sent the final sample to Spain, the new box was put through its paces again. Lambretta exhaust test: Another prototype box from our friend Chalky from Replay Scooters and JPP  came directly to the test bench:

  • bgm PRO BigBox Proto
  • JPP box prototype

The following resonance racing exhaust systems competed against the pits:

  • the TSR Evo,
  • the JL3 and
  • in MB3

And all three Reso systems did better against the speakers than we would have expected!

The Lambretta exhaust systems

 

The Lambretta engine

The test engine was constructed as follows:

 

Result & conclusion of the test

Nice and clear to see how good the box is from the start Performancebut also with plenty of torque scores in comparison to the 'racing exhaust systems'.

This is exactly what makes the bgm PRO boxes so nice to drive. There is always enough power available without having to struggle with gear connection problems or having to turn the gas like crazy to get things going.

The moderate consumption values ​​of the engine concepts with the bgm boxes are another advantage, apart from the original look and the pleasant background noise. Another outstanding feature is the protected fastening system with adjustment options in both horizontal and vertical directions. This allows tolerances and, above all, spacers used to be compensated for different strokes and connecting rod lengths.

Test Pinasco cylinder Vespa Wideframe

Wasp Wideframe Pinasco 160ccm V2 - On the Scooter Center test

, ,

Wasp Wideframe Tuning

The Vespa Wideframe-Models are enjoying increasing popularity.

In addition to more and more replacement parts, there is also vigorous development in the area of ​​increasing performance.
So far, existing cast iron cylinders have been rebuilt in order to wrest a little more performance from them with a lot of effort.

New Pinasco Faro Basso cylinder

Pinasco will soon be offering an aluminum cylinder 160ccm for the old Vespa engines with 3 stud bolts.

Our loyal customer Andreas Nagy, who has always been a great friend of these somewhat special Vespa models, deals very carefully with increasing the performance of the Wideframes and works closely with Pinasco in this area.

With a Prototype of the 160cc V2 cylinder he visited us on our dynamometer.

Caliper bracket 007

Secret prototype of the new Vespa cylinder

Caliper bracket 009

We would have liked to have taken an even closer look at the 160 Pinasco.
The prototype of this cylinder was unfortunately hidden under the cooling hood.

Wasp Wideframe racing exhaust

On our Scooter Center We tested some exhaust systems with Andreas on the P4 test bench. Of course, there is also a bgm PRO BigBox Touring exhaust for the PX models, where we have modified the suspension so that it fits onto the Wideframe fits.

10PS and 100 km / h

Sure, in the age of a Malossi MHR, with which it is almost child's play to achieve over 35 hp on a PX, the 10 horses of this Pinasco racing cylinder do not seem particularly breathtaking. However, one should also take a look at the original "performance" of the Wideframecall s to your memory! Originally with around 5HP, a maximum of 70km / h was possible on a flat stretch.

With now 10PSthat on Tugging 8 inch small rear wheel, and a suitable primary reduction, are mileage of over 100km / h possible, as can be found on an original PX200, for example.

We are curious to see the potential with which Pinasco will send the cylinder into the race.

Flashmob Open Day number 1 - Düsseldorf conquers that Scooter Center Cologne

, ,

On Saturday, December 5th, the Scooter Center the Düsseldorfer created their own Open Day to roll off. With a slimmed-down program of the Open Days, things got down to business in a much more intimate setting. The weather god played along this time and the sun was already shining at 9 o'clock when it was time to leave Düsseldorf. The mild temperatures of around 10 ° could have been a bit higher.

Speaking of failure: the grill in the Scooter Center unfortunately smoked that morning and a completely new way of preparing Bavarian veal sausages in a hot water bath was used. Revolutionary! After a first refreshment, the gasoline talk was continued with a short tour of the camp. And an order process was run through theoretically.

So that this becomes a day that is not too theoretical, the test bench was then put into operation. In this way, it was possible to test the recent changes in engine concepts and put them on paper. And there were some nice engines there.

All in all, it was a super fun day, which unfortunately was over much too quickly!

Dean Orton at Scooter Center with BSG Corse Lambretta

, , , ,

Bon voyage - Dean visits this Scooter Center with the BSG Corse Lambretta

Dean Orton, the founder of Rimini Lambretta Center visited us in Scooter Center. On his way from Rimini via the Venlo Scooter Run to the ESC race at the Harz Ring, he stopped by for a few days. Dean use the trip to the BSG Corse engine to test its suitability for everyday use and travel. In doing so, it was anything but sparing the engine.

BSG Corse Lambretta test drive

dean orton lambretta

The test drive should be as real as possible, so Dean just packed his mod stuff and also:

  • another exhaust to test
  • all sorts of tools just in case
  • Camping equipment
  • and what else mod needs

Then he chased the Lambretta through the streets. From Rimini in Italy over the Alps to Austria and over Germany to Venlo in Holland. The way home then takes him back via Germany, past us and then on to the ESC race at the Harzring.

130km / h cruising speed with reduced 50PS

He reels this distance relatively relaxed at a constant cruising speed of 130km / h. And that with sufficient reserves to be able to overtake at 150km / h. Considerable when you consider the very short gear ratio of only 4,9. With this powerful motor, other speeds can also be achieved.

The CNC manufactured 305cc cylinder is throttled to approx. 50PS via the programmable ignition. Unthrottled, the engine already produced 63PS on the dynamometer at the Rimini Lambretta Center.

ESC roller race on the Harz-Ring

A European Scooter Challenge race will take place on the Harz-Ring this weekend. Dean meets the Casa Lambretta Racing Team here. The first tests and preparations for the race will take place on Friday. The Casa Lambretta racing scooters are equipped with the new parts of the Casa Lambretta Performance parts and some bgm PRO parts. We have the Casa team with the complete bgm PRO Lambretta chassisto pay more attention to the bgm PRO Lambretta silent blocks and the bgm PRO Superstrong Lambretta clutch equipped.

Our first time!

Even if we've known each other for ages and that Scooter Center Just as the Rimini Lambretta Center was founded around the same time, we already met at various events across Europe, but this year we managed to visit each other for the first time.

dean orton lambretta dean orton lambretta

In April we went to the Open Day and had a great time there in this brilliant Lambretta shop with our Italian friends, great Italian food and of course many great and unique legendary Lambretta models such as the Lambretta two-cylinder prototype and the BSG 305 Lambretta.

Here is the video from the Corso, Philipp on the BSG Lambretta

On Monday So it was finally time, it was an honor for us Dean im Scooter Center We enjoyed every second and exchanged many old and new stories and it was very funny. After a few “business talks” we went to eat together and it got very late. Dean praised our Scooter Center Generation XI Smallframe Vespa the most beautiful object in the universe - just one breath later our bgm demonstrator Lambretta than that ugliest Lambretta in the world to brand. Mhhhh…. Since we were already confronted with this opinion at the Riva del Garda Customshow 2013, there had to be some truth to it. So we had to do something about it. So we decided to make the Lambretta available to him and to adapt the optics to the perfect mechanics.

dean orton on a lambretta
Tuesday Dean tests the Lambretta on the streets of the beautiful Rhineland and came right on time for the traditional afternoon tea to discuss some new Lambretta products.

On Thursday Dean actually wanted to look at our order process. Unfortunately, we got the glorious idea to test his scooter and both exhaust systems on the test bench. The diagrams of our P4 dynamometer almost coincide with the diagrams driven in Rimini. Time flew by and after dinner Dean was already on the way to the Harz-Ring.

Many greetings to the entire Rimini Lambretta Center team and to Vittorio with his Casa Lambretta Racing Team - we keep our fingers crossed for the race

Vespa touring exhaust

Vespa touring exhaust BGM PRO BigBox TOURING Vespa 200ccm

, ,

New Vespa touring exhaust

Today we have the first Manufacturing sample the BigBox Touring for the 200 Vespa PX engines.

The normal process of a sample test includes, in addition to evaluating the appearance and fit, runs on ours Scooter Center P4 dynamometer.

As we did in an earlier one Contributions to this Vespa exhaust have already noted, the BigBox Touring is significantly more delicate in the manifold area than its big sister, the Big Box Sports.

BigBox P200_2

Without her black, heat-resistant garment The BigBox Touring looks a bit bare. But when testing a sample, we also make sure to take a close look at all the joints without a "top layer".

BigBox P200_3

Test assembly on Vespa Sprint with 200 engine

One of the first tests was assembly on one Vespa VLB (Sprint). In combination with a 200cc PX engine, space problems often arise with such conversions. Especially in the area of ​​the main stand, in particular the "U's" and the tabs for the stand springs. The stand feet may also collide with the manifold depending on the routing of the exhaust system.

With the BigBox Touring, we made sure that these bottlenecks are sensibly defused. Even with vehicles with the only two-spring system on the main stand that has been introduced for the German market fits the BigBox and the stand feet are at a safe distance to the hot manifold.

BigBox P200_4

The Big Box Touring Just like its big sister, it is equipped with a solid clamp and additional holders for exhaust springs.

If you want to be on the safe side at this point, then this is ours Retaining plate with 2 exhaust springs exactly the right accessories for your BigBox.

BGM101HMSR (1)

Performance measurement Vespa exhaust

If we like the look, workmanship and fit, then it goes to them Performance measurements.

Our first “test victim” is a Cast iron Polini with 207ccm, SI24 carburetor on a standard Vespa PX200 engine.

 

big box touring 200

Early torque for everyday use and touring

When developing the BigBox Touring, we made sure that the possible torque is available very early and that the exhaust has a lot of pressure from the low revs.

The earlier and more homogeneously a motor delivers its torque, the more pleasant it is Everyday driving. With the BigBox Touring, you can already step in on our test engine with the good, old gray cast iron Polini 3900rpm over 18Nm Forward. Converted to fourth gear, that means a pleasant one Cruising at 50km / h with a very good potential to accelerate through to the top speed.

 

Longer translation possible

Depending on which engine you are using the BigBox Touring on, a longer primary reduction may be required makes perfect sense can be used to drive a little more revs at the same cruising speed. The easiest way to extend the reduction is with a clutch pinion. That bgm clutch pinion for the Cosa type clutches or a durable solution like ours bgm Superstrong clutch are good and loyal companions here. Due to the longer reduction, up to to 5km / h more top speed at the same speed is possible.

Wasp Smallframe with Polini cylinder over 20HP

 

Today our customer John was again with his Vespa Smallframe on our Scooter Center Test bench.

Where can I find a few more horsepower in my Vespa engine? John

More power for the Vespa

During his last visit, he asked us what changes he could still make to his engine in order to find a little more power.

After we had briefly discussed what its current setup looks like, we were actually able to give some pointers through which more top performance can be obtained.

 

Motor setup

Basically, the engine is equipped with a Polini Evo cylinder, a 54 bgm crankshaft. The 30th Mikuni TMX carburetor is attached to an MRP suction device. The very best prerequisites to become a clear Ü20 unit.

With an additional processing of the outlet and the conversion of the Polini membrane to 2 flaps, the following result comes out:

 

Polini Evo 133 Vespa Smallframe on the test stand Polini Evo 133, L&S Franz, Polini Membrane, MRP

With Kytronic even better

Due to the larger outlet area, the exhaust can work much better. The small loss at 6500rpm is unfortunately due to the missing Kytronic. In the current state (red curve), a standard PK ignition system provides a ZZP of 18 ° before TDC. their service. With the Kytronic it is certainly possible to shift the red curve back to the left at 200 rpm, in the direction of the performance that starts earlier.

But all in all a nice number - have fun with it on the street!

Vespa 235cc

On the test bench: Vespa PX Simonini 235ccm

, , ,

35PS and 34NM to start with

Vespa 235cc

More than 235ccm on one CNC motor housing are also more of an exception to the test for us.

Few enthusiasts dare to take on such a financial and mechanical challenge. The outwardly rather inconspicuous, silver Vespa PX, hides the technical eye-catcher under the right hood.

 

27.06.2014 007

The engine, carved out of solid aluminum, is manufactured with a sufficiently large membrane intake manifold.

The crankcase is filled by a 38 Keihin Airstriker in a very short and direct way.

27.06.2014 002

Gearbox is designed for over 50HP

The valuable filling from the crankcase is then transported into a Simonini cylinder borrowed from aircraft engine construction during the flushing process. The 70mm bore results in 235ccm on this engine!

The gearbox of this Vespa PX200, actually 235, is of course not off the shelf either. The company KR-Automation has reached into buttons and developed a very elaborately manufactured Vespa gearbox that can withstand a power of over 50HP over the long term.

Here are the inner values

Simoninii 235

At the moment, “only” 35hp and 34Nm are pulling on the main shaft.

However, as the owner credibly assured us, this will be further optimized and we will soon meet again on the test bench to look for more horses.

We are very curious!

In many cases, the TüV requires a performance report to enter changes to the engine.

Next to the 135cc DR cylinder is the  Malossi cylinder with 139ccm one of the most popular cylinders to help the little PX on the jumps. So also in this case, our customer Timur needs such a diagram for the demonstration and entries with the TüV.

When measuring according to DIN on the Amerschläger P4 test bench, we have to enter the key data of your engine in the diagram so that the tester can correctly assign the diagram to the vehicle. All scooters with gear shift and four gears are usually measured in third gear. This information is also noted in the diagram.

Cylinder POLINI 133ccm Evolution membrane ESC version

ESC unit class K1, Polini 133ccm Evolution membrane

, , , ,

Polini 133cc Evolution membrane

ESC2014

From 2014, a standardized package is permitted in class 1 of the ESC. The direct suction serves as the basis for this package Polini Evolution cylinder modified to the ESC version.

The one-size-fits-all solution with the Polini 133cc Evolution membrane In class 1 the ESC may only be operated unchanged and with the intended exhaust. After consulting Polini and Ludwig & Scherer, we were able to achieve a package price of currently € 625 for ESC drivers. Approval for the purchase of the kit must be obtained through the ESC respectively. You can find the current set of rules at www.eurochallenge.de

The basic idea of ​​the standard solution is that as a driver, as in class 5, in class 1 you can concentrate more on actually driving on the track than on the sometimes quite complex engine concepts.

With the "large one-design class" and the Polini 133ccm Evo, an output of around 25hp is possible. In close cooperation with the ESC, we have created this kit for you and carried out some tests on our P4 test bench.

Cylinder POLINI 133ccm Evolution membrane ESC version

That up 51mm stroke reworked cylinder kit You can of course also move normally on the street after the TüV blessing. Even if you do not take part in racing events in the ESC, we can prepare this kit for you. But then at the regular price, as the cylinders for ESC use are specially discounted by Polini.

ESC EHK K1 Ausp ALEX1-page-001

So that you can install the cylinder, you should pay attention to a few things in detail.

Crankshaft / crankcase

The cylinder kit has been revised for the use of a crankshaft with 51mm and 105mm connecting rods and supplemented with a matching spacer.

The following crankshafts fit this:

bgm Pro 51/105 ETS 24mm and bgm Pro 51/105, 20mm and of course all other crankshafts, which have a stroke of 51mm and a connecting rod length of 105mm.

A crankshaft with a standard connecting rod length of 97mm cannot be used.

To install the bgm crankshaft you have to prepare your crankcase.
In the “small engine half”, i.e. on the alternator side, the diameter of the crankcase must be increased to 88mm.

In the large half of the housing, the drive side, it is usually sufficient to remove the rotary valve sealing surface.

Copy of 25.03/002/XNUMX

You must also pay attention to the clearance of the crank webs and the connecting rod above the rotary valve sealing surface.

Copy of 25.03/003/XNUMX

When building the engine, we recommend that you store the crankshaft Ball bearings with increased internal clearance and FPM shaft seals to use. These can still work trouble-free and permanently even at higher speeds.

25.03 030

Cylinders / overflow channels / cylinder base

Every now and then it can happen that the coating on the cylinder base creates a few burrs. It is therefore advisable to deburr the edges before assembly.

K1 EHK 003

In order to accommodate the large overflow channels, the Polini cylinder is significantly larger in the area of ​​the channels than, for example, a gray cast iron cylinder. Therefore you have to edit your stator housing.

25.03 018

It is not absolutely necessary to plan the motor housing by machine. The part of the stator housing can also be easily removed with a saw.

25.03 021

Since there is no need to seal the surface, you can simply align the surfaces with a file.

25.03 025

You do not necessarily have to adjust the overcurrent channels in the motor housing. According to the rules of the ESC, however, this is permissible. We could not determine a performance or speed advantage through adapted overcurrent channels in the housing on the test bench. The overflow system clearly lives from the direct ventilation from the direction of the membrane.

Intake manifold / membrane / spacer

Due to the fact that the cylinder is ventilated directly, the housing inlet must be closed.

This can be done on the one hand by filling the intake tract with so-called. Cold metal happen or through a Locking plate , the latter is available for 2-hole and 3-hole motors

When using cold metal, the inlet channel can only be reused with increased effort. With the locking plate, you have the option to use a housing-sucked cylinder at any time.

We used a locking plate on our engine.

After the assembly you have to adapt the locking plate to the cylinder.

ESC K1 EHK 004

Optionally, you can also edit the spacer to create the necessary space for the closure plate.

05.03.2014 005

The intake manifold of the Polini cylinder is designed for good flow and thus for good performance. However, the shape of the suction means that space must be created accordingly on the frame. Depending on the model used, V50 or PK, more or less large modifications are necessary here.

If you do not want to change your (racing) frame appropriately, you may optionally also use one according to the rules Intake manifold from MRP use. Due to the other course, the intake manifold fits into your scooter without major changes.

7675515

The good fit is unfortunately due to the performance compared to the Polini intake manifold.

You may not process the Polini Memrban any further, for example by separating out the bars, etc.

As a replacement or optional you can Carbon plate material or use one-piece membrane plates in any material thickness. You are not allowed to use Boyesen membrane plates, a similar, multi-part principle or any other membrane in class 1.

CARBURETOR

We used a Mikuni TMX 30 and a Keihin PWK 28 on the test engine we assembled.

Since our test engine has already driven almost all ESC routes, we can also give you some tips on how to set it up correctly. Of course, these tips are only intended as a guide. You have to find out the exact setting yourself on your engine, but so that you don't have to start from scratch, we have briefly summarized the jets we use on the routes.

Main jet 260-280 (with PJ!)

Powerjet 85-100

Keihin PWK 28

Idle jet 38-42

Needle JJH 2 ° -3 °

IGNITION

Here, with our test engine, we have the “Polini-Tronik" resorted to. Somewhat more interesting than that in terms of acquisition and equipment Vespatronic. Meanwhile, Malossi offers another interpretation of the IDM based ignition system. A ZZP of 26 ° -18 ° turned out to be the basic setting on our test engine. This ignition setting offers the best compromise between early torque and good speed behavior after peak performance. On racetracks with significantly longer straight sections, such as the club course in Magny-Cours or the new course in Mirecourt, you should take the ignition back 1 ° -2 °. When it comes to ignition timing, you have to try out what works best on your engine and what suits you best in terms of character.

EXHAUST

The current ESC K1 exhaust is based on a prototype of the ALEX1, which works very well on class 1 cylinders with suction from the housing and enables performance well above the 25pS limit there.

Details Polini 221ccm cylinder for 60mm stroke

, , ,

Polini 221cc cylinder

Update: Malossi MHR 221ccm cylinder for Vespa PX 200 available Malossi MHR 221ccm cylinder

As with the new one Malossi Sport and MHR cylinders , we also dedicate ourselves to the details of the Polini 221cc cylinder for 60mm stroke crankshafts. We had already measured timing & co for the Polini 221 cylinder for the Vespa here: Polini 221ccm 60mm long stroke.

compression

The one included in the cylinder kit cylinder head is also with the current Polini 210cc used. Polini regulates the adjustment of the compaction simply by changing the pinch edge.

So let's grab the head and give it a suitable one Long thread spark plug and simply apply grease as a seal for our plexiglass instrument.

Cylinder head Polini221

With the Plexiglas plate in place, we fill the cylinder head with the burette in order to determine the exact cylinder head volume.

Cylinder head Polini221_2

The meniscus remains in our burette at 25ml. The volume of the combustion chamber in the cylinder head is therefore 25ccm.

To get the entire combustion chamber volume (Vc), we still need the volume of the curved piston crown. With a defined piston recess, in our case 6mm, we first calculate the volume of this "cylinder".

piston head polini221
6,85 x 6,85 x 0,785 x 0,6 = 22,1ccm so is the volume.

Also sealed with grease and filled with lamp oil in a playful delicate rose, the burette reveals a value of 14,6ccm. So 22,1 - 14,6 = 7,5ccm for the Volume of the piston crown.

3_bottom polini221

The last ingredient is missing Volume of the pinch edge. Measured directly on the living object, i.e. directly on the engine, this is 2,2mm, which in turn has a volume of 8,1ccm requirements.

Combustion chamber volume

So we come to a total combustion chamber volume of:

Cylinder head 25ccm + pinch edge 8,1ccm - piston bottom 7,5ccm
= 25,6ccm

compression ratio

Does this result in a compression ratio? from
Cylinder displacement 221ccm + combustion chamber volume 25,6ccm / combustion chamber volume 25,6ccm
= 246,6ccm / 25,6ccm
? = 9,63

Polini 221ccm cylinder put to the test

Here is another example of the Polini 221 based on a customer engine.

So Polini 221cc, Polini crankshaft 60mm stroke, Dellorto PHBH 28, Polini intake manifold for rotary valve and ours bgm BigBox. With the original cylinder base seal, control angles of 120 ° / 170 ° result. For more information, see the diagram below.

Polini221

For a motor that is only plugged together, i.e. has not undergone any machining of the channel surfaces, 26Nm is a reasonable amount of torque. Especially when power and torque are available that early.

At 4000 rpm, 20Nm are already available, which is at least twice the value that an original PX200 reaches as a maximum.

Depending on the gearbox setting and application preferences, one can confidently longer primary can be used to achieve a solid cruising speed at low speeds on the motorway. The low-vibration running of the Polini crankshaft then contributes to the rest of the comfortable journey ...

120km / h cruising speed

With this motor and a longer reduction ratio should permanent 120km / h to be possible. Here ** as an example, once with the original gearbox and once with our bgm Superstrong clutch and DRT pinion extended by one tooth on the original primary of the PX200 with 65 teeth.

PX200 24_65

Since there are still 7000PS at 20rpm, it is possible to crack the often cited 120Km / h mark.

** The gear calculator “GearCalc” was kindly made available to us by GSF member Motorhead. Thanks very much!

Vespa exhaust Exhaust bgm PRO MB Big Box Prototype

MB & bgm Vespa exhaust Big Box - update

, , , ,

Vespa exhaust bgm PRO

NEW: Vespa sports exhaust Big Box Sports

Today we proudly present you the first pictures and the first results of the test bench runs of our new one bgm PRO exhaust systems for the Vespa.

The Vespa Big Box exhaust was developed in close cooperation with MB in England and is also the result of over 20 years Scooter Center Experience.

Advantages of the exhaust:

  • More efficient:
    • powerful like a resonance exhaust
    • significantly easier to turn than SIP Road
    • very wide speed range
    • no performance hole like a reso exhaust
  • Looks like the original
  • Quieter than racing exhaust
  • 200 mm outlet socket with Viton® Oring -> no more cracked exhaust ports on 200 mm aluminum cylinders
  • massive, thick-walled material
  • so far without approval
  • with serial number

Purpose of use:
Due to its original look and its low volume, the exhaust is particularly suitable for original tuning or touring setup.
Due to its power delivery, it can be used universally on original as well as heavily tuned engines at home.

First pictures:
Here are the images of the prototype. The exhaust will be available for the following models:
- Vespa PX 200 / Vespa Rally 200
- Vespa PX 125 / Vespa PX150 / Vespa SPRINT etc.

launch
We expect the exhaust from the beginning / middle of summer and are really looking forward to it. The test drives were great.

Test run performance diagrams:
The exhaust systems were made on the professional Scooter Center Ammerschläger P4 test bench tested with laboratory software:
Result: Significantly more power! eg:

  1. + 2PS more on PX200 compared to the original exhaust with significantly improved revving = top speed
  2. + 3PS more on Malossi 210 compared to comparable road exhaust systems
  3. + 5PS more on Malossi 166 (60mm shaft, exhaust made, 28mm carburettor on rotary valve) opposite Vespa Road exhaust

As a Test roller the following candidates were available:

The test runs were all done with the engine warm. The tests were carried out against the existing exhaust systems on the vehicles and against the SIP Road exhaust.
Almost all scooters were then tested for several kilometers on the road in order to really feel the change. That was the very subjective so-called Popometer test ;-)

The conclusion
Awesome part - this is how a Vespa exhaust has to be!
Both for the "laboratory test" with performance diagram and for subjective testing on the road:
The new bgm PRO exhaust puts you in a good mood. The engine turns out much more freely, the Vespa becomes much more flexible and faster and without the consumption or volume increasing noticeably.

On the test bench: GSF donation engine “20PS+” Part 2

, ,

The trains were installed quickly and we are looking forward to the first runs!

The engine came to us with jet nozzles: without a needle, with a 50 mm auxiliary nozzle and 150 mm main nozzle.

The needles are the crux of the vote when it comes to tuning. Picking the supposedly right one from a seemingly endless offer of carburetor manufacturers is often quite difficult or, better, very time-consuming.

A small selection of needles from various manufacturers are always available on the test bench.

Small selection of Keihin needles

Small selection of Keihin needles

Experience has shown that rotary vane motors of this type feel quite comfortable with a DGL needle. The DEK needle installed as standard in the 35 mm Keihin is usually a bit too bold in the lower partial load range.

All that remains is to check the ignition.
Since the motor housing was welded to the outside of the overcurrent ducts, the ignition base plate had to be machined - unfortunately exactly at the point where the markings for ignition setting are attached to the base plate in the unchanged condition.

gsf wsm2012 018

So that we can control the ignition point, we have to mark the top dead center, the TDC and the desired pre-ignition value.

As always, we determine the OT by means of a reversal measurement.

For this purpose, the piston is prevented from overcoming top dead center with a piston stopper.

Piston stopper for reversal measurement

Piston stopper for reversal measurement

We mark the flywheel with a scriber and then transfer this mark to the motor housing at the first "stop". The marks should of course be exactly in line. Here, in the picture below, the camera's angle is playing tricks on us.

OT mark 1

OT mark 1

After the pole wheel has been turned once against the second stop, we also transfer the marking from the pole wheel to the motor housing.

gsf wsm2012 007

With a scriber you can now determine the exact position of the top dead center between these two markings on the motor housing.

gsf wsm2012 009

Ok, now we know where the piston is at the top, but we're aiming for an ignition point of 18 °. This means that we now have to set a corresponding marker.

We also need the circumference of the pole wheel. This value can be simply measured or determined using the calculation method (D *?).

The pole wheel has a circumference of 529mm. If you divide this value by 360, you get the value for 1 °. This value must then be multiplied by the desired value for the number of degrees.

In our case 529/360 * 18 = 26,45mm.

This value is then marked on the circumference of the flywheel, starting at the “0” mark.

gsf wsm2012 010

During the subsequent check, the 18 ° marking should be congruent with the OT marking on the housing.

The control is carried out with a stroboscope lamp.

As you can see, the ignition point is around 2 ° next to our desired value of 18 °, i.e. 16 °. We reserve the right to adjust it for now and let the engine run as it is - you have to start somewhere.

gsf wsm2012 013

Unfortunately, when warming up the engine, we noticed that third gear jumps out under load. Mmmhh... stupid. Unfortunately, the problem cannot be fixed in the short term, so we are doing the tests in fourth gear. The gearbox is basically the lever against which the engine has to work. This lever is of course much longer in fourth gear, so it "brakes" more than in third gear, which is usually used for measurements. The peak power on the graph with the dynamic measurement, power against speed, will therefore be much lower than would be the case in third gear.

As a final check, we may try a static run, performance against km / h and hope to be able to hold third gear in position at least once with the shift handle.

Ok, first try ...

1 GSF Christmas donation engine 2012

As suspected, the spray is too bold. The performance drops badly, especially in the pre-reservation area.

We change the auxiliary nozzle to 45 ...

2 GSF Christmas donation engine 2012

Well, something positive is happening in the pre-resso area - now we're going to 145 with the main jet

3 GSF Christmas donation engine 2012

We haven't found top performance by changing the main jet. The curve becomes much smoother and the engine starts more willingly in fourth gear against the load of the roller. These are subjective impressions that no graph can depict.

What remains is the change in ignition timing to 18 ° ...

4 GSF Christmas donation engine 2012

The ignition brought it again. More power in the pre-resol and peak area with more torque. 18HP in fourth gear with the longest transmission brake is okay.

Finally, a run over all four gears ..

GSF Christmas donation motor 2012 kmh

Well, almost 20 horses in third gear ...

The difference in fourth gear is nice to see in this run. After all, the longer translation swallows almost two and a half horses.

In terms of spraying, we would leave the engine like that for now. The remaining fine adjustments should be adjusted according to the geographical conditions of the new owner on the road.

Scooter Center Xmas P4 duel -FINALS-

, , , ,

Here is the evaluation of our P4 duel.

The target was to beat the 29,9 HP mark. Set by one Cast iron Polini 133 with 54er bgm crankshaft, Carburetor Keihin PWK35AS and Fire magic Exhaust.

With 29,3PS, Jonas just missed the mark. Close behind with 29,2HP is Matthias with his 133 Polini rotary valve engine.

In a joint agreement, we, Jonas and the Scooter-Center decided to give the promotion voucher worth 100 euros "scooterist-chairty / GSF fundraiser" let it come.

We also add the necessary test bench time for the donation engine on our test bench.

In the gallery findet you a few selected runs of the X-mas duel.

In reality, small, angry SF motors are of course much more popular - so just be part of the next P4 campaign!

We would like to thank all participants of the x-mas campaign, it was really fun to spend the whole day with you “on the roller”.

Scooter Center Xmas P4 duel

,

On Friday the 14.12th of December was the first day of our X-Mas duel.

Despite sub-zero temperatures, some performance seekers came to our test bench.

For refreshment, hot coffee with a shot and warm pretzels were available in our workshop

To begin with, we would like to briefly introduce you to the engine that needs to be beaten - the duel class, Vespa Smallframe, max.140ccm, one-piece outlet and sucked in via the motor housing.

The current state of affairs is 28,4HP at 9800U / min, from December 16.12.2010, XNUMX with a 133 gray cast iron Polini, bgm crankshaft, Magic fire exhaust and 35 Keihin PWK Carburetor with Strohspeed intake manifold and Polini membrane.

Among other things, the Strohspeed intake manifold was developed and tested on this engine, from the first prototype made of steel, through the cast samples made of aluminum to the finished intake manifold.

Today's fire magic exhaust also brought its first horsepower to the role on this Polini engine - the first Proto was still a straight pipe and was called Astro1.

We would like to show you some meaningful runs in the duel class:

Mathias Scherer from Ludwig & Scherer, currently with 28,2 HP, also with a Polini gray cast iron cylinder. The rotary valve (!) Is operated by a 38 Keihin PWK fed and currently provided with enough horses by a fire magic.

Jonas from Nettetal should of course not be absent from this campaign. In the Germanscooterforum you can be constantly advancing "Summer-Winter Project" admire.

It also fires a Polini 133 made of gray cast iron. The motor is also equipped with a Polini membrane and is ventilated via a 35 Keihin PWK. With the last changes to the control angles, now 128/196, a lot has happened here too!

In the first attempt with the air filter, the limit of 28,4 HP could not be cracked….

Without the fan ring of the Vespatronic, the output rose to over 30 HP….

... mmhh, then after almost exactly 2 years I have to get the Polini motor out of the corner and put it back on again - or maybe just unscrew the fan ring ;-)

There is still some time until the second day of the duel - but for December 2st. also announced numerous comrades-in-arms whose engines should also be able to exceed the 21.12HP limit ...

It will definitely be exciting.
